Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine

Undeniably one of the most impressive museums in Paris. Absolutely awe inspiring, giant rooms with high ceilings filled with millennium old pieces of history, entire chunks of churches and cathedrals, and there's a lot to visit and look at. Also, a little glimpse at the Eiffel tower in the distance. Quite marvelous.

Not only the museum is amazing, The guide “Theo” and “Noemie” were also very knowledgable and helpful. Had the guided tour for the “Unité d'Habitation” led by Noemie and she was very well explained. The only downside is that all the labels are in french and would be helpful to have english translation for visitors who are non-french speaking. Audio guide also cost 5€ and its quite a lot given the entry fee is already 13€. Could be a deposit instead. But overall, has a superb experience would highly recommend!

My second time visiting this museum. Other than the wonderful to-scale casts and structures of ancient architecture from France, there’s a fascinating exhibition of modern architecture including some of Le Corbusier’s seminal works. This one has place has lovely views onto the Eiffel Tower.

One of my favorite museums in Paris. We just saw the delightful exhibition on the Grand Magasin of Paris. The castings and reproduction of architecture are great, the recreated murals (especially the dome) are beautiful and the architectural models are fascinating. And the full scale build of the Corbusier apartment is fascinating. Never too busy and with great views if the Eiffel tower.

Great museum for those who are fascinated by architecture, art or design. The vast collection include reproduction of cathedral portals, stained glass windows, and mural paintings.

Very good museum but the architecture focus mostly on cathedrals like Notre Dame. I wish they could have included other iconic monuments. The illustration image of steps at entrance is fantastic alongwith the rooster of Notre Dame cathedral. The museum is clean, staff is friendly and above all not crowded. Location is great too at Trocadero opposite Eiffel Tower.

Nice little museum just below the Trocadéro plaza. It was free on the first Sunday of the month and they were open till 7pm. The exhibits were quite impressive if you like the architecture detailing and process of construction of the Ancient buildings. The explanations were mostly in French though, it would help if they were translated into English so more international tourist can read the descriptions.

The museum is so huge and so beautiful. You can easily get lost in the art and the beautiful architecture! It is truly a patrimony of all the important and beautiful buildings in France and Paris! I don't have much knowledge about Architecture but definitely after visiting this museum, I felt much more confident.. The beautiful big entrance.. the 12 apostles and the replica's of all of the famous churches in France is just breathtaking. I ended up spending 3 hours in the museum and didn't even realize it. The staff is super nice, helpful and smiling!☺️ And the view of the Eiffel is breathtaking!

Part of the luxury of living in Paris is the leisure to slowly explore the city through its museums, especially on First Sundays, when quite a few of them are free. A few friends and I had a chance to recently visit this treasure of a museum and I was reminded for the umpteenth time as I gazed at the casts and replicas of the treasures of medieval and modern architecture that the French have many reasons to be proud of their heritage and patrimony. An unexpected pleasure of visiting this museum is the different views of the Eiffel Tower that are afforded as you climb floors of the museum. Well worth a visit, and can be well visited within 2-3 hours.

WOW! A lot of cool really old ancient stuff! Chances are you plan on visiting the Eiffel Tower, and chances are you used the Trocadero Metro station to get here for the view, and chances are you are a smart tourist and bought a Paris Museum Pass, which includes this museum. Its definitely worth an hour of your time. But if you don't have the pass, the €8 regular admission seems seems a little hefty.

Small architecture museum located right near the Eiffel Tour. We came here since our Paris Pass included free admission to all the museums...and we wanted to escape the cold! Not very big but really cool to see small versions (replicas) of some of the monuments around Paris. Definitely worth about an hour of your time to visit -- not really anything cool for the kiddos but as an adult you may enjoy exploring.

Actually 2.5 stars. Nothing inside here is real, but the fact that it fooled me for the first ten minutes bumped it up to a 2.5 star museum. Well, in a sense it's a good thing. It shows some REPLICA architecture from churches, buildings, and monarches of major places throughout Paris. So if you don't have the time to actually visit these places, then coming here to look at the replicas is the next best thing. Very nice, attention to detail on each sculpture. Again, it kinda fooled me, but had I read their English guide, then I would have known right away. This museum is located in the Trocadero and it's part of the museum pass. So if you have some time to kill, then yah, come on in, or if you really appreciate 15-17th century French designed architecture. Otherwise, you can probable skip this replica museum.

Interesting space with a vast display of unique architectural styles spanning the course of centuries. Included on the Paris Museum Pass it was an excellent way to spend a couple of hours and the overall layout of the museum was quite user friendly. Admittedly many of the pieces are replicas, but for the sake of diversity and evolution in styles it is interesting and educational.
